Floor Tom Setup Tips

Hello! My name is Aaron Moon and I’m here with you today on behalf of expertvillage.com. You can hear that? That means that it's going to grab good. Once you get it in you just tighten up this knob right there; you’re going to want to tighten it good cause the last thing you want is your legs to loosen up and have your drums fall which can happen. Go over next to the second leg, loosen, put it in and tighten there you go and the third leg as you can see I don’t have a rubber foot to, now this happens from time to time rather you’re gigging or whether you’re going back and forth from practice space over the years you can loose your rubber feet. You can go to a music store, you can pick them up in the drum department it’s no problem it shouldn’t cost you that much and if you don’t feel like picking it up it’s not going to make all that all that much difference you just don’t want to have all three legs not have a rubber foot. So you can stick in, loosen it, tighten it there you go, so that is how to put your legs on your floor tom fairly simple and once you get it, ready to stand it up and you’re ready to play. Thanks for joining me and hope this is useful on setting up your floor tom.
